WT Football

Just my opinion his second year should be above .500, third year contending for a playoff spot, and fourth year making the playoffs and winning the first game.

Any regressing there at any point I would call for the change.

We said the exact same thing with Hughes. I said 4th year if no playoffs no job extension. That's what (reluctantly from the AD) happened.

One thing WT has is support. Even if they suck in football, there will be several thousand at a cold game in November. Some of these LSC teams could fit the whole crowd into a McDonald's.

So true!

You've turned awfully bearish in a week. What happened?

As a side note, I am hearing that WT football will be under the microscope of Lipinsky from the first snap in Alpine. I have a feeling that if he's a bit uncomfortable with the situation, the Lynn era could be a short one.

Pops' post was tongue-in-cheek. As was my reply. :)

Their fans do a great job of hyping them up every year before the season starts though. I remember all the way back to when they got a RB transfer from Northwestern I think... and a LB from I wanna say Syracuse. You'd have thought they were going to win the Super Bowl based on the comments here.

Over/Under on how long into the season before they shift to women's tennis threads?

Quite some time since WT doesn’t have tennis teams.

I will be talking softball in late September and early October, no matter how the football team does. That’s because they have fall practice games.

Agree.

It's too bad the Buffs didn't get older, bigger, faster, and more skilled this year. Lynn's year 2 teams usually fall on their faces. 2-9 will be a good year.

With our early schedule, I'd say mid Sep and I'll be working on BB.

Wt sucks!

😂

4-5 wins is more likely.

WT will win the LSC this year. UT Peanut Butter will finish 5th

I watched the scrimmage as well. The one thing that stood out to me was I thought this was as physical a scrimmage as I have seen. They got after it. I am with chip it was a lot of back and forth. Probably what you want. You don't want one side of the ball whipping the other side. The one thing I will say is they did some solid recruiting from the end of spring ball to fall camp. In my opinion they addressed the offensive skill positions and secondary. The Running backs are way better. The central Washington transfer looks good and there are some solid guys behind him. I think they brought back the okoye kid from a couple of years ago. I think that was him not for sure I thought he was very talented. It will be interesting.

I think Johnson will start. I think his ability to improvise is the difference between him and Gibson. They both were pretty good. I thought the kid from Celina was pretty good for a freshman.

Looks like we watched the same scrimmage. :)

Going back and reading MIAA blog comments after Lynn was hired, they often remarked about the physical style of play his teams put on the field. That would be different.
